To be blago'd is to be appointed to a vacant elective position by a politician in hot water -- after Rod Blagojevich, Governor of Illinois, expected to be indicted soon on corruption charges. Once you've been blago'd, your chances of ever again holding political office can be expected to be minimal -- although the only thing you may have done wrong is show poor judgment by accepting such an appointment. If you think the House of Representatives can constitutionally refuse to seat Roland Burris, you may want to familiarize yourself with Powell v. McCormack, 395 U.S. 486 (1969). I'm not willing to venture a guess. In another sense of this new pseudo-word, it could be said that a plethora of Democrats from President-elect Barack Obama on down have also been blago'd.

Roland Burris must have decided he had absolutely no chance of ever again holding a political office unless he acquiesced to being blago'd. There's no way the Democrat Party bigwigs in Illinois will ever back him again.
